While acting may run in the family,it wasn't Angelina Jolie's only choice when thinking about her future. Although Jolie has studied her craft(技艺)since childhood,at one point the 26-year-old,who stars this month in Tomb Raider with her father,actor John Voight,wanted to be a funeral(殡葬)director.“I thought that the crossing over could be a beautiful thing and a time of comfort when people could reach out to each other.”
Tradition(传统)is always attractive and interesting to Jolie,who moved with her mother,Marcheline Bertand,and brother after her parents separated when she was two.“I never had one home. I never had an attic(阁楼)that had old things in it. We always moved,so I was never rooted anywhere. And I always dreamed of having that attic of things that I could go back and have a look. I'm very drawn to some things that are tradition,that are roots,and I think that may be why I paid such special attention to funerals.”
Finally,she chose acting.“Following in my father's footsteps,”she says,“is an interesting thing,because I think we speak to each other through our work. You don't really know your parents in a certain way,and they don't really know you. So he can watch a film and see how I am as a woman,the way I’m dealing with a husband who's been hurt,or the way I'm crying alone.”
“And it's the same for me:I can watch films of his and just see who he is. I've learned to understand him as a person.”

A.was once a funeral director
B.is the leading actress in Tomb Raider

You’ve probably had that feeling. And you undoubtedly have heard the warning “Back up your data or else.” For Ms. Grove, the director of the Legacy Counseling Center, a nonprofit support organization in Dallas for people with AIDS, the story had a happy ending because she had backed up her data on a remote computer—what is commonly called “in the cloud.” With copies of everything, she could restore all her files.
A growing number of companies now offer these cloud-based backup services. Two of the best-known, Carbonite and Mozy, offer similar services with different prices, while Backblaze combines many of the services of Carbonite and Mozy. It offers unlimited backup for $5 a month per computer, and also backs up attached hard drives. If your computer’s drive crashes, you can either download the data or receive a DVD for $99 or hard drive by overnight mail for $189. Backblaze’s backup tool is one of the easiest to use: it just backs up all data files and once completed, backs up new files on a continual basis backups of deleted files, as with most services, are erased after 30 days.

Larry found a job parking cars for one of Hollywood's big restaurants. His pay was basic, but since the guests were kind enough to give him more money, he managed to make a living.
One day he recognized an important film director driving into the parking lot and getting out of his car. Larry had recently heard that the man was ready to make a new picture.
Larry got into the car and prepared to drive it on into the lot and park it. Then he stopped, jumped out, and ran over to the director. "Excuse me, sir, but I think it's only fair to tell you that it's now or never if you want me in your next picture. A lot of big companies are after me."
Instead of pushing away the boy, the director got interested in Larry's words and stopped. "Yes? Which companies?" he asked.
"Well," replied the boy, "there's the telephone company, the gas company, and the electric company, to tell you only a few."
The director laughed, then wrote something on a card and handed it to the young man. "Come and see me tomorrow."
